FADE - smoothen a signals on- and offset

Program code:

function [ y ] = fade( x,t_fade,Fs )
%FADE smoothen a signals on- and offset
%
%   Input parameters:
%     x     : input signal
%     t_fade: fading time
%     Fs: sampling frequency
%
%   Output parameters:
%     y   : output signal
%
%     takes a sequency and adds a rise and fall to its begining
%     and its end to minimize the pectral splatter.

t_in=0:1/Fs:t_fade;

f_fade=(0.01*25)/t_fade; % the best fading frequency for t_fade=0.01s turns to be 26 Hz. Find the appropriate f_fade for other t_fade values.
